Welcome to Mother Goose
At Mother Goose, we nurture young minds in a safe, joyful space, preparing children for kindergarten with care and fun.
In our space, play is woven into the fabric of learning. Through a variety of activities that promote social skills, cognitive development, and physical coordination, children learn essential life skills while having fun. From art projects that cultivate creativity to interactive games that enhance teamwork, every moment spent here is an opportunity for growth.
We recognize that preparing for kindergarten is a significant milestone in a child's life, and we take this responsibility seriously. Following the Saugerties Central School District's curriculum, we prepare our little ones for a seamless transition to kindergarten. Our curriculum is rich and engaging, encouraging curiosity and fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
Our dedicated educators work tirelessly to develop enriching programs that instill foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking. By the time our students are ready to take their next big step, they will not only be equipped with the knowledge they need but also the confidence to thrive in their new environment.
We value communication with parents and caregivers, as they are a vital part of our community. We strive to keep families informed and engaged through regular updates and opportunities for involvement, ensuring that they feel connected to their child’s learning journey.
We look forward to welcoming new families and creating endless joyful memories together. Together, we will build a solid foundation for our children’s futures, one day at a time.
My child loves it here!

Meet The Directors
Hi! I'm Mrs. Myer. I started here at Mother Goose in December of 2019 as a teaching assistant. I became the Assistant Director in 2022 and loved it! In November of 2025, I became the Director of Mother Goose. Mother Goose is not just a work place but my second home!
Hi! I'm Mrs. Bernard. I started at Mother Goose in 2017 as the Director and in 2025, I became the Executive Director. Mother Goose is not just a job to me but also my baby. I have built Mother Goose into what it is today and I'm so proud of how far we have come. My philosophy for our program is to make sure the kids are having fun while learning!
I can’t say enough positive things about Mother Goose. My daughter has been thriving this school year- the learning is incredible but even more so, her social skills have expanded. There is no hesitation at drop-off; she loves going to school and comes home excited to talk about her day. The teachers (and all staff) are very kind and dedicated to the children. I recommend you check them out if you have a 3-5 year old!!

I’m so glad I listened to a family friend and enrolled my daughter here. She is learning and developing so well. She loves the school, all the teachers and of course her friends. I would recommend to anyone looking to enroll their children in preschool. You won’t be disappointed!
